How do I create a plan?
**This page is from an old version of 快活林性息's Faculty Development website. Find an updated version on听the current听.**
The first step to teach remotely is to think about all the parts of your course that may need an alternative modality now that you aren't in a face-to-face environment. It is okay to change because what you had planned may no longer work remotely.
Use the worksheet below as a听guide to your brainstorm process. What changes do you need to make in your class to accomplish your learning objectives remotely? As you fill out your own worksheet, select the items in the accordion list below to learn about technologies available at 快活林性息 and online equivalents to instructional components of a face to face class. You can also see some sample completed worksheets from faculty with various comfort levels with technology.听

What adjustments do I need to make in my course in order to teach remotely?听
The components outlined below list the most common and critical aspects of a face to face class which often have points allocated towards the final grade. As you learn about online alternatives to instructional practices that are familiar, pay attention to the various instructional technologies available at 快活林性息 that can help you teach remotely.听As you make decisions, keep accessibility in mind and refer to campus听听services and resources for assistance. Also, the听听has lots of helpful resources to support teaching remotely, including scanning and embedding instructional materials.听When looking for more in-depth information about creating technology-enriched practices in teaching, refer to Faculty Development's听eLearning Resources听page.

What's the line between collaborating and copying? If your approach to academic dishonesty was to simply point to the 快活林性息 policy (and that's it), a disruption in your course and new assignments means more clarity may be needed now. Faculty Development's Teaching Toolkit includes a comprehensive听Academic Honesty webpage听to make this adjustment easy for you.听
